![]() Silhouette-wise, though, this actually has more in common with the Kriss Vector than either of those. Short-range sniper rifle? Scoped? Also an SMG? There was a lot to work with. They're both silenced, they're both chambered for the same round, they're both short-ranged.Īnd something about the characteristics of both just seemed so very Grineer. If you're wondering, the scope is actually a video feed to a camera mounted above the barrel.Ĭonfession time: I can't tell the difference between the AS VAL smg and the Russian VSK sniper. However, some of them can become Manics if you disrupt them while they're aiming in sniper mode. Various tribals and others in the system refer to the Volsk as 'The Silent Hammer,' owing to its high impact and near-complete silence save for the motion of its charging handle in both modes. What it lacks in armor-piercing and slash damage, it more than compensates with its high status chance. Its high impact gives it massive utility against Corpus energy shields. It's particularly beloved by Grineer Space Marine Expeditionary Forces, Nightwatch, Tusk, and Kuva Guardians, who use it to deadly effect. While it has less penetration, Grineer have praised its power, fire rate, and flexibility, with the Volsk becoming a common sight among Grineer of every type. It acts much like the Quartakk, firing rounds at ludicrously high speed. It fires 2 rounds per shot in hyperburst, with no range limit, and none of the accuracy issue of SMG mode. Unfortunately, this gives its automatic mode high falloff, with bullets veering off course and/or dropping (much like Astilla slugs) after a certain distance. It boasts damage rivaling the Tenno 'Boltor' rifle series, with the highest status and damage of any SMG currently produced in the Origin System. It fires a slow-moving non-hitscan round analogous to the ancient 9x32mm round fired by the AS VAL and VSK SMG and sniper rifle. The Volsk silenced smg was designed by the Grineer Kletka Production Zone specifically for close quarters fighting and precision, in response to reports that the common Vulkar sniper rifle was simply unsuited to the close quarters of spaceships and some urban environments such as Corpus Gas Cities. Zoom: 1.8x (+18% Base crit chance while zoomed) (NOTE ALSO: It has higher projectile speed.) This is as much for balance as your comfort) ![]() It's rather blurry outside the scope, though. (NOTE: This acts more like a reflex scope, offering some peripheral vision. The Vintorez was given a very good barrel and intended for precision shooting, while the AS (Special Assault rifle) Val used the same action and suppressor, but had a pistol grip and folding stock, and was intended for use as a typical carbine. Does double-duty as an SMG and sniper rifle."ĭamage Reduction: Full damage up to 29.0 mĪccuracy Reduction: Full Accuracy up to 37m The VSS (Special Sniper Rifle) Vintorez was one of two dedicated silenced rifles developed in Russia in the 1980s. "Grineer low-velocity projectile SMG/sniper hybrid chambered for oversized, slow-moving rounds.
